3.2.4
Domain access credentials
This option determines the user name and password that the management server will use to access
the domain.
The preset is: No credentials
The management server needs domain access credentials when working with a dynamic group that is
based on the
Organizational unit
criterion (p. 306). When you are creating such group and no
credentials are given by this option, the program will ask you for credentials and save them in this
option.
It is sufficient to specify the credentials of a user who is a member of the
Domain Users
group on the
domain.
3.2.5
Acronis WOL Proxy
This option works in combination with the
Use Wake-On-LAN
(p. 165) advanced scheduling setting.
Use this option if the management server has to wake up for backup machines located in another
subnet.
When the scheduled operation is about to start, the management server sends out magic packets to
wake up the appropriate machines. (A magic packet is a packet that contains 16 contiguous copies of
the receiving NIC's MAC address). The Acronis WOL Proxy, installed in the other subnet, transfers the
packets to machines located in that subnet.
The preset is:
Disabled
.
To bring this option into use:
1.
Install Acronis WOL Proxy on any server in the subnet where the machines to be woken are
located. The server has to provide continuous services availability. With multiple subnets, install
Acronis WOL Proxy in every subnet where you need to use the Wake-On-LAN functionality.
2.
Enable
Acronis WOL Proxy
in the
Management server options
as follows:
a.
Select the
Use the following proxies
check box.
b.
Click
Add
, and then enter the name or IP address of the machine where the Acronis WOL
Proxy is installed. Provide access credentials for the machine.
c.
Repeat this step if there are several Acronis WOL Proxies.
3.
When scheduling a backup policy, enable the
Use Wake-On-LAN
setting.
You also have the ability to delete proxies from the list. Please keep in mind that any change to this
option affects the entire management server. If you delete a proxy from the list, the Wake-On-LAN
functionality in the corresponding subnet will be disabled for all policies, including the policies
already applied.
3.2.6
VM protection options
These options define the management server behavior as related to backup and recovery of virtual
machines hosted on virtualization servers.
